Busy Busy Bone Day

Water Hyacinth

Met with the new Guild today.  40+ people were there, excellent group.  They even had a presentation about making strawberry pin cushions and put together and a kit for everyone to practice with!

Everyone brought stuff to trade and I came home with 3 sets of circular knitting needles and a knitting CD.  It has been 20 years or more since I knitted or crocheted anything.  but I was quite adept at it and made lots of place mats and doilies with the thin cotton thread as well as a cape and some purses and a few afghans.  I did make a sweater but it was too hot to wear, very heavy.  I am working on socks right now with 5 needles, and that is something new.

There were a lot of old quilting magazines from the early 90's in stacks someone was getting rid of.  I thought about taking them and doing a give away, but it gets so expensive sending out all those packages.  So I left them there and just traded for the knitting needles.
